Being “shut in” has not stopped the Yavneh Academy third, fourth and fifth grade Wednesday lunch opera club from meeting and enjoying opera! Yavneh music teacher Marsha Motzen, who is also a Metropolitan Opera Guild Access Opera partner streams Met on-demand from her home to continue encouraging these young opera fans!

Yavneh students with an interest in opera have been joining the club ever since its inception 18 years ago, when the sixth graders began to go to the Met for dress rehearsal performances. The Yavneh club was honored this week to be recognized by the Metropolitan Opera Guild via social media.
